What is the current state of U.S. #nonprofits, and what are the key issues #funders need to know to best support them? Join us on June 20th for a free #webinar on "What Funders Need to Know: The State of Nonprofits and Grantee Well-Being." Hosted in partnership with Philanthropy California, we will examine CEP’s new, forthcoming report, State of Nonprofits 2024: What Funders Need to Know, which takes the pulse of nonprofit leaders through CEP’s nationally representative Nonprofit Voice Panel. We will also discuss findings from a forthcoming CEP Research Snapshot, How Foundations are Supporting Grantee Staff Well-Being, which explores how funders are perceiving and acting on issues related to the well-being and burnout of staff at their grantee organizations. Panelists: Elisha Smith Arrillaga, Ph.D., Vice President, Research, Center for Effective Philanthropy Gloria Corral, President and CEO, Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) Tim Delaney, President and CEO, National Council of Nonprofits Elizabeth Brown, Managing Director, Mental Health and Well-Being, Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation Phil Buchanan, President, CEP (moderator) Register now (the recording will be sent to all registrants): https://lnkd.in/e5RggkeS #philanthropy #giving #charitablegiving #community #leadership

For today's Wednesday Wisdom post, we recommend this NonProfit PRO article by Rebecca Britt.

Concerning but not surprising news from Center for Effective Philanthropy - the burnout is getting worse. "While burnout is a perennial issue in nonprofit organizations, our data indicate that nonprofit leaders’ alarm over the issue is not abating but rising. Half of those we surveyed are more concerned about their own burnout now than they were at this time last year." So what are we doing about it? How are nonprofit boards and leadership going to tackle this? Interesting that the data shows that nonprofits are strong financially.

Unrestricted grants are more than just financial support — they reflect trust in an organization’s ability to meet the needs of the communities it aims to serve. Yet, nonprofits often face challenges in receiving the unrestricted funding necessary to build capacity and pursue impact at scale. Inside Philanthropy explores Center for Effective Philanthropy research on limited organizational resources and burnout among nonprofit leaders. https://bit.ly/4eEzgQ9

CEP's recent report on the state of nonprofits in 2023 found that there was greater trust between nonprofits and their funders, as well as that nonprofits were experiencing significant staffing challenges - including issues related to burnout - but a more hopeful economic outlook than many feared.
